Wow. An example where the British chose the French pronunciation and the US is (a bit spottily) tending to Anglicize a word. I never can think of one when I try.

Thanks for that.

Coupé is my favourite - in the UK it is pronounced the French way whereas in the US it seems to be pronounced as "coop".

"Neesh" is taught as Correct in the US, though it's not universally used.
